How do you make a belt and pulley out of elastic bands and cotton reel?

I have to teach my class how to make a basic fariground ride in DT, and need to start off by showing them how basic belt and pulleys work using elastic bands and cotton reels. How would this work?



Also, how would I then transfer this into a simple carousel idea?

Check out the book 'The Way Things Work' (link 1)
